Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew, himself at
the head of several great corporations,
in Il late address said: 1.-The corporation
is the creature of the State, its powers
limited by the conditions of its existence,
its methods subject TO public supervision,
aud is life dependent upon its creator.
IL is the only medium through which
many OF the great enterprises OF our
civilization can be carried on. But the
sun of publicity can send no ray into
the labyrinthS Of those gigantic combi-
nations which are created by neither
law nor custom nor necessity, and whose
mysterious movements are at once the
peril and the puzzle Of the investor and
the destructive traps for enterprise aud

The latest form that monopoly has as
sumed In this country is that OF
"trusts." These great trade conspira-
cies, formed upon the model afforded by
the Standard Oil monopoly, set before
the people Of this country a problem
which IN the defense of their right they
must undertake to solve. A Trust is
monopoly Of monopolies. 1t is Il combi-
nation devised for the establishment and
maintenance of monopoly in such a
way that The real design of its founders
and the operation Of its machinery are
in great measure concealed from the
public. Absolutely controlling large
number Of corporations which seem TO
be Independent of each other, monopoly
in this form presents 10 the world the
features of ordinary competition. The
Trusts of these days are not corporations
but by uSurping the franchises OF many
corporations they exert, without the re-
straiuing influence OF charter rrgula-
tons. enormous power. These gigantic
combinations" called Trusts, which
devour corporations, corner the neces-
saries of life and work injury alike TO
the farmer as producer and the labor
man rs a consumer. Farmers can only
combat these new giants by thorough
national organization such rs we have
in the Grange.

the three per cent. bonds might command
premium, and thus reduce the amount that
could be retired.
One point should be kept in mind, and
that is that this reduction can be made, II
not dollar Of the states bonds are pur-
chased, by investing the surplus in other
interest bearing bonds, and relnvesting the
interest on these bonds as fast as collected,
thus securing compound interest on the
states money.
with only s7,5O0,O00 due at the end OF
twenty years, It would be necessary to set
aside less than one-half Of the surplus from
the increased valuation, as q sinking fund
to retire the entire Indebtedness when due,
and os the four per cent. bonds would com
mand heavy premium, II twould not be
wise policy to purchase.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, has en-
dcavored to treat the Virginia debt question
with judicial fairness, and the figures 1t has
given will stand the test Of examination.
The plan proposed can be successfully car
ried through, and by IL the creditors will
secure all that is due them, the honor and
good name Of the state will be restored, the
people will not be oppressed by burdensome
taxes. Let IL be tried.

virginia Can Pay.

While the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN was
preparing an editorial recommending the
state of Virginia to make an offer OF
S25,OO0,OO0 as final settlement Of its debt
and proposing to pay graduated interest on
the same, by which the heaviest burden
OF the debt would be transferred to future
years, when greater prosperity and increased
wealth could be reasonably expected, the
legislative committee was adopting one
part OF the proposal and Offering the
S25, ,O00,0 600 as basis of settlement.
The creditors committee insists on nearly
S2T,00O, 600 as the correct figure, and want
certain amount Of money paid down. Vir.
ginia cannot afford now to pay any money,
the state cannot even afford to pay full in
terest, and should insist upon such terms
as would be granted to any debtor who
had been despoiled of large portion of his
property, but was willing, and able IL given
time, to pay his entire Indebtedness.
The creditors ought to be willing to ac.
cept the terms suggested by the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN,, because, in the end, they
secure the full average of three per cent.
interest. 1t is true the bonds for the first
five years, bearing only one per cent. in
terest, would not probably sell for more
than sixty cents on the dollar, but the
holders are not bound to sell, and by hold
ing can secure the average. while should
they refuse the state can 80 invest its sur
plus over the amount needed to pay the
interest that the result would be the same
as shown in the tables.
AS the creditors might not be willing to
accept so low an interest as per cent. fol
any portion Of the thirty years the new
bonds should run, we will present tables Of
graduated interest in periods of ten years
the first at 2 per cent, the second at 3 pei
cent. and the thira ~ mar n"-.., --i'i. eu'
same assumption as In the former tables
that at the end of five years the taxabl,
wealth of Virginia, now s35O,OOO,0 900, vii
have increased to $3.50, 100000, aud at th,
end of ten years to $3.50, 1000, 900, and tina
the additional income from the increased
assessments, at the present rate of taxation
mills on the dollar, could be applied t
the extinction of the debt
The state should insist upon the sun
Lgned and registered bond without cou
pons, as in that way alone it can protect it
treasury from being flooded with coupons
as at present. The other points in contrc
versy might be conceded without damag
II the creditors will accept the graduate
interest and the registered bond.

Let Them Attend to Business.

A great deal has been said about the de-
lay in Congress in attending to the busi-
ness of the country. Congressman are apt
to declare that they are an overworked set
Of individuals, sacrificing their time, day
and night, for the benefit Of the country.
Slight examination into what congressman
do will easily convince one that they do
not work altogether as hard as some men
who follow other occupations.
One reason why so little is done in Con-
gress is that Congress itself will not relieve
itself OF vast amount OF business that
should be attended to In the courts aud de-
partments. 1t prefers to haggle over
little private claims rather than trust them
to the settlement of courts aud executive
officers. In the forty ninth Congress there
were fifteen thousand bills introduced, aud
out Of this number only about five per cent.
passed and only a small percentage was
acted upon and rejected. The trouble Is
that Congress, paid by the year, only serves
about one. third Of the time, taking the
other two.thirds for political purposes; and
of the one-third 1t is in session much OF
the time is wasted in making capital for
parties or persons.
The forty-ninth Congress assembled on
the 4th of December, and its speaker, Mr..
Carlisle, took until the 18th Of January to
announce the committees, thus wasting
one month and nine days, the reason being
that he desired to secure such political
combinations as would enable him to control
the action Of Congress.
Then the Congress adjourned on the 7th
Of August, making Its entire business ses:
sion less than seven months. The second
session of the forty ninth Congress was
limited by law to three months, so Of the
twenty-four months for which congress
men were elected to serve, only ten months
were spent in sessions, and much Of this
time wasted.
Congress usually meets at 12 o'clock ant
adjourns at 5; the committees meet, OF
pretend to meet, at 10 or IL, and adjourn a
12; the remainder Of the congressman
time is spent in such devious ways as he
chooses to practice. The constituent cal
see whether this is such exceeding labor al
to unfit congressman for service during the
entire period for which they are elected.

Death from Apoplexy.

Mr., John Blddle stated last night that his
brother, Jonathan Blddle died of apoplexy,
ard not from an overdose of laudanum or
paralysis, as stated In the evening papers. The
facts In the case are that Mr.. Biddle had last
returned home from the hospital. At break.
fast yesterday morning he seemed IN the best
those about him. Suddenly he complained of
feeling unwell, arose from the table, and laid
down on the parlor lounge, where, later, he
was found in stupor Drs. Kingsmlu aud
the trouble to be apopleSy. Suspicion pointed
to laudnnum, from the fact that an empty
bottle which had contained the drug was
found In the deceased's medicine chest at the
herd!c stable where he had been stable boss.
The laudanum, 1t was claimed, was used by
him in the treatment of the horses used by the
company.

A Manufacturers Advice.

"Gentlemen, let those who will sell
common truck in footwear you can't
afford to do IL. Chickens come homo
to roost.' and thero is no commodity
that know of the actual quality of
which the consumer will sooner find
out than common shoes. They may look
ever so nice in stock, but n very few
days wear tolls tho tale. No, no, gen
tIemen, you can't afford to handle and
distribute such stuff" This was, In
substance, the advice given us by
leading manufacturer of shoes long
before we opened our shoe depart
ment; not that we ever contemplated
selling any but shoes of meritorioas
quality, but IL was pleasant to have
our own views backed up by the ad-
vice of one thoroughly competent to
advise. Long years ago we learned
that the surest, II not always the quick
est, road to success in business was to
sell only goods of sterling merit on tho
closest possible margin. This rule we
have applied to our shoe department.,
rs we have to every department in orr
house. As case in point we cite
Gents Genuine French Calf Congress
Caters. HAND STITCHED, s3T5 pair;
the regular price of these shoes is s.. D
to s5.50-outside Of our house, of course
but we sell shoes as low as most deal
ers BUY them.
Ladies' French Kid Button Boots; or
price S29S; the usual price charged
elsewhere for these shoes Is si. II
money is of any value to you the saving
of sl.02 ought to count; besides we
have all widths and sizes.
The goods we describe are to be founl
here for the prices we name. We have
got them-not In our mind, but In stock
on our shelves. If you are in need of
shoes they are here for you. If you
desire only to see them, they are here
for that purpose awaiting your in
spection.
Misses Straight Goat Button Boots,
silk worked buttonholes sl.3i pair;
can't be duplicated elsewhere for less
| than 81.
Boys Calf Button Boo.s, oil sizes,
s1.48 pair; actual value, 81.
You will observe we only draw your
attention to ono shoe of each branch,
viz, Ladies', Gents, Misses, and Boys
these are only fair samples of the res
of our stock. We keep no "leaders," ol
rather "misleaders." TIE prices of all
our shoes are graded according to those
we've mentioned.

THE Secretary of the Treasury can, If he
desires, during the next fiscal year, and
early in this year, too, get rid Of some Of the
surplus by purchasing the full amount of
silver allowed by law; that is, 81, 900, 900 per
month. The minimum which he can pur-
chase is 81 .000. 900. and as we nave NOW. ona
have had FOR years, monometalists In charge
Of the treasury only the minimum has been
purchased. There is no reason why the maxi
mum sum, $4,000,Oe0 per month, should
not be purchased; in fact there is every
reason why 1t should be. Every indication
shows that there will be a surplus OF over
$4,000, 900 per month accumulatlng In the
treasury after the first day OF next July,
and only 100000 of this can be used for
the redemption of bonds. At the very lowest
estimate, after purchasing all the 3 per
cents. remaining, there will be Sll0, ,0)O
more collected in the treasury than 1t is
possible to pay out for the expenses of the
government; but S24,0OO,00o could be paid
out additional by the purchase of silver.
Mr.. Fairchild's attention is particularly
called to this fact, and to the further fact
that nineteen out of twenty Democrats
who are expected to vote for the reelectior
OF Mr.. Cleveland are not monometalists, dc
not belong to the Wall street rings, and are
in favor Of bi-metalism.
